Eagle Quest |
|
|
|
Eagle Quest offers opportunities to help young Scouts complete
their Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks.
The following schedule allows the Scouts to
select only the requirements they need to finish the rank they are
currently working on. These schedule is designed around the more
difficult requirements and do not offer time for every
requirement. The requirements not offered need to be completed
within a Troop or can easily be done in a Troop setting. Many of
the Scouts participating in the Eagle Quest program will need the
guidance of their Leaders to remind them of their schedule and of
any necessary items they might need.
Eagle Quest Schedule [pdf]
The Eagle Quest schedule runs all day long
to make it possible for Scout to advance a full rank during their
stay at camp. It is not recommended that Scouts participating in
Eagle Quest take merit badges. If a Scout would like to take a
merit badge, we recommend they choose Basketry or Fingerprinting
to complete during their free time (3:30-5:30 pm). However, if a
Scout only needs help on a few requirements, they should sign up
for merit badges and come to Eagle Quest during open instruction.
Open instruction is a good way to make up missed requirements or
to complete new ones. However, it is not a replacement for
attendance at Eagle Quest. Some requirements like the cooking, the
5-mile hike, the 1-mile compass course, etc. cannot be completed
during open instruction. Most requirements need a day of
instruction and another for evaluation; therefore Scouts should
not wait until Friday to start requirements. |

How to Sign Up |
|
|
|
- Register Scouts online using the
procedures found on page 17. If they will be working on multiple
ranks sign them up for each rank they will be working on. Be
sure to sign them up separately for cooking if your Scouts will
be cooking in the area for that rank.
- For those without computer access,
sign-up sheets can be mailed to you. Turn in the
sheet(s) Sunday night at the Adult
Leaders Meeting.

Special Notes: |
|
|
|
- Requirements start on time in order for the schedule to
flow smoothly.
- Certain requirements will require the Scouts dress for the
activity. Swimsuit, towel, and shoes are needed for all
swimming requirements. Long pants are recommended for hikes.
If your Scout is not properly dressed we cannot hold up the
class while they go back to their campsite to change.
- Certain requirements meet at other locations besides Eagle
Quest. These locations are noted on the schedule. Please have
your Scouts arrive on time and prepared.
- Requirement 1b (finding direction at night) of First Class
will take place on Tuesday evening at 9:30 pm and Scouts are
asked to meet at the Activity Field. If the weather doesn’t
cooperate, the staff will re-schedule this requirement and
make an announcement about the change.
